'''RAILS''' was a breakfast food mentioned in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. The cereal references cocaine, in that the name is a slang word for the drug, the cereal is consumed by snorting it up the nose, it resembles a white powder, and the side effects (nosebleeds, addiction and an inflated ego) resemble cocaine's. It was featured in the [[Liberty Tree]] article, [[RAILS Breakfast Cereal Under FDA Scrutiny]], written by [[Beverly Clamhopper]], which discussed how the controversy over the side effects had led to an FDA probe and a recall.

There is confusion over which company manufactures the cereal: the packaging mentions [[Biglogs]], the GTA Liberty City Stories website mentions Colombian Breakfast Inc, and the Liberty Tree article mentions Mendez Foodstuffs of Medellin.
